This is a repost without the photos for illustration.
I need a door that someone feeble can push up and it stays open while she exits out of the cellar. I think these babcock davis doors will do BUT I need a deadbolt lock that the enfeebled downstairs can open with a turn of the lock and an enfeebled outside can open with a turn of a key. The door is vulnerable to break ins and last time, the pins were removed from hinges to conceal the unsecured door. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
